How To Connect To Your Windrose Server

Joining your Windrose server can be done one of two ways: through a direct IP connection, or with your server's invite code. Only one method can be active at a time, and we generally suggest turning on Direct IP Connections for a more reliable join.

Connecting With a Direct IP

Windrose ships with Direct IP Connections turned off, so you'll need to flip the setting on and reboot the server before it'll accept direct joins.

1. Sign in to the GhostCap Panel and Stop your Windrose server.
2. Head to Server Options and change Enable Direct IP Connection to true.
3. Return to Console and start the server again so the setting takes effect.
4. Grab the server IP address and port from the sidebar.
5. Launch Windrose and pick Play > Connect to server.
6. Switch to the Direct IP tab.
7. Drop your IP into the IP address box, put the port in the Port box, and hit Connect via IP.

Example: A server at 198.137.23.46

198.137.23.46
7777

Connecting With an Invite Code

If Direct IP is switched off, your server will instead be joinable through its invite code. Follow the steps below to grab the code and connect.

1. Open the GhostCap Panel and select your Windrose server.
2. From the sidebar, head into File Manager.
3. Inside the R5 folder, open ServerDescription.json and copy the InviteCode value.
4. Launch Windrose and choose Play > Connect to server.
5. Paste the InviteCode into the search box, then hit Connect once your server shows up.
